Moroccan Moorish Carved Side Table

Eight-point stars and keyhole arches, carved by hand to the last inch.

Moroccan woodworkers of North Africa made this carved side table in wood in the 20th century. Small hexagonal tables of this type are commonly found across the Maghreb and are often decorated with dense geometric carving. The top is hexagonal, with circular rosettes cut into the surface. Each side panel has a diamond medallion, and the legs are shaped into pointed Moorish arches. The wood is dark brown, rubbed to a soft sheen.

About 24 inches tall. Sets a tea tray in a certain mood.
